Let’s collaborate to create a stellar government website design for your local government or federal government department. We’ll deliver a site that’s not just visually impressive but one that streamlines your operations, enhances engagement, and solidifies your reputation for quality and transparency.
What is GovCMS? Your foundation for digital excellence in government
In today’s digital-first world, your government website is often the primary point of contact for citizens seeking information and government services. GovCMS is the robust, Australian-government-endorsed content management system (CMS) specifically engineered to meet these unique demands. Built on the powerful and secure Drupal core, GovCMS is the trusted platform for hundreds of Australian government websites.
Our government web design and development process
A Dedicated Account Manager
No two government departments are ever the same. That’s why we assign a competent account manager to accompany you through every step of GovCMS website development.
This dedicated account manager will communicate your needs to the development team. They will also ensure that you end up with an efficient, excellent website that perfectly suits your requirements.
100% Custom Design
At PWD, we don’t believe in using themes. Since every city, town and government is different, every website should reflect that uniqueness.
Our GovCMS developers will always create a government website that reflects your particular style, values and mission while incorporating all the functionality you need.
Built For Speed
Gone are the days of government websites taking ages to load. Not only does this give residents a terrible experience, but your reputation sinks along with the website.
So, when our GovCMS web developers create a government website, they do it with speed in mind.
Residents and your staff will enjoy working with a lightning-fast, optimised website that delivers a seamless user experience time after time.
SEO
At PWD, we are SEO experts. We will ensure your GovCMS site is built with good SEO practices to make your agency more accessible online.
Mobile-Responsive
Today, it’s pretty standard that most residents will access government websites via their mobile devices.
So, our GovCMS developers ensure that every website we build is mobile responsive. This means that no matter what device someone is using to access your site, it will function seamlessly.
Live Chat Features
Our qualified developers can use GovCMS to add a live chat feature to your government website. This feature allows your staff to quickly and effectively help residents find vital information online.
Additional Security
Malicious hackers often try to attack government websites in the hopes of stealing valuable data.
The combined power of GovCMS, Drupal 7 core, and our qualified web developers in Perth will ensure that your local government website is secure and protected at all times.
Setting Up Your Essentials
Our PWD web developers will assist you in getting the most out of your website.
We’ll assist you with setting up various essential tools – from installing Google Analytics to helping you with email marketing and social media sharing links.
Contact Forms With Google Maps
With every GovCMS website, we include contact forms and Google Maps. Having these will make it easier for residents to get a hold of your department, providing them with a better experience.
Training Session And Web Support
Of course, helping you master your new website is just as crucial as actually developing your new GovCMS site.
So, we include a free training session and support with every GovCMS website we develop. This service ensures that you have all the knowledge and time to confidently master your new website.
Benefits of GovCMS web development
The unique GovCMS platform comes with everything that makes it perfect for Australian governments. For instance, GovCMS is Web Content Accessibility Guidelines v2 compliant.
This compliance ensures that anyone can access critical information online, including people with disabilities.
GovCMS also follows best design practices, as policymakers outlined in the Australian Government’s Digital Service Standard. So, your new website will consistently deliver a simple and fast public service.
GovCMS uses the powerful Drupal 7 core as a foundation. Since Drupal is supported worldwide and open-source software, constant updates improve this CMS platform.
The popularity of the Drupal 7 core also means that GovCMS is flexible and scalable. A qualified GovCMS web developer can effortlessly create any size of website with it.
Today, online security is a top concern for governments worldwide. The same rings true here in sunny Australia.
Our web developers use GovCMS to provide governments with an easy-to-use web platform that comes with exceptional security measures.
Add in Drupal’s notable security features and you end up with a website that will keep your critical data safe from malicious attackers.
GovCMS isn’t a generic solution. It comes packed with features, mobile-ready themes, essential modules, libraries, and installation profiles designed with the specific compliance and functional needs of Australian government websites in mind. This means less custom development and faster deployment.
Say goodbye to frustrating delays in getting important messages out. GovCMS boasts a rich “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) content editor. This empowers your team, even those without technical expertise, to update and publish content within minutes. This simplicity ensures your pages are always current and relevant.
We understand the critical importance of disability access and creating accessible online experiences. GovCMS is designed to help you meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) compliance, ensuring all citizens, regardless of ability, can access the information and services they need.
As your agency’s needs evolve, GovCMS can scale with you. It’s a flexible platform that supports a wide array of features and integrations, allowing you to develop new programs and initiatives online.
